This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

The flute in hand suddenly lost its appeal.

The dazzling, splendid sword light looked mesmerizing, even the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny seemed slightly entranced before this strike.

Now that he possessed Su Youyi's understanding of the Sword Dao, he could appreciate the True Intent within this sword strike and was captivated by it.

But just like a beautiful girl can deceive, a sword strike from the west, as graceful as a Banished Immortal descending to the mortal realm, also harbored a soul-stirring murderous intent!

The Ghostly Adversary of Destiny wanted to dodge, but he found his body completely immobilized by a strange Domain around him, unable to move in the slightest.

Though this immobilization lasted but a mere breath's time, it was more than enough for Liang Yi and Su Youyi to extinguish him with that sword strike.

"This time, the core Law has been destroyed again; there's no possibility of recovery now, is there?"

For some reason, when faced with the reality of death, the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny's mood turned exceptionally calm.

"Having spent a lifetime impersonating others, at least in death I can finally be myself, which isn't too bad..."

Realizing his destiny, the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny felt a sense of relief. He let go of the Spirit Sword he had intended to use to resist and calmly accepted his fate.

Behind the mask of the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny was only darkness with no facial features revealed, but Liang Yi and Su Youyi still sensed joy and relief from him, as if seeing a face that had completely relaxed.

Realizing something, Liang Yi and Su Youyi's expressions grew solemn, and they stabbed out with their swords with all their might, giving their opponent the ultimate respect.

Crack, crack—

The sword light pierced the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny's body without hindrance; successive sounds of shattering rang out, and an invisible shockwave burst forth from the dark form, sweeping across thousands of miles.

"The extinguishing of a Law?"

Feeling the fluctuations, Liang Yi murmured thoughtfully.

The sound of shattering rose five times, proving the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny was constructed from six core Laws.

"Sigh... it's finally over."

Wan Tinggui, not far away, sensed the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny's Vitality completely dissipate and then stored away her Domain and jade flute, shaking her sore arm and sighing.

This ghost was truly powerful; had it been her, she'd probably be figuring out how to escape by now.

It was also fortunate that Liang Yi and Su Youyi were at the forefront; otherwise, with her own means, she would definitely have been marked for death by the ghost, eager to eliminate her swiftly.

Su Youyi also took a long breath, retracting the Lovesick and silently watching as her senior brother gradually dissolved the lingering Abyss Demon Qi left by the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny with Cliff Sword Intent.

"Alright, we have dealt with this side; now only Old Master Ju remains."

After Liang Yi finished checking for any residual Abyss Demon Qi, he retracted Yuan Zhou, clapped his hands lightly with an easygoing smile.

This support mission was truly fraught with one twist after another, having taken more action than in the past few months combined, and this particular danger was the most startling encounter for Liang Yi.

"Um... it seems it's also over on that side."

Su Youyi surveyed the situation and pointed behind her senior brother with a light chuckle.

"Huh?"

Liang Yi turned around puzzled and looked in the direction his junior sister pointed.

They saw Old Master Ju, still of a massive stature, swaggeringly approaching with an injured figure hanging limp as a dead fish in his grasp.

Yue Bai, who had been ensuring that the two Zen Cultivators were unharmed by the remnants of the battle, now that both conflicts were resolved, let go of the two bald heads who were just coming to their senses and came straight to Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"Brother, Sister Su, are you hurt anywhere...?"

Yue Bai was anxious, checking more thoroughly for injuries on Liang Yi and Su Youyi than they did for themselves.

"It's all good, all good. Minor injuries have mostly healed."

Liang Yi slapped away Yue Bai's nosy little hand that was burrowing into his clothes, explaining helplessly.

"Thanks to Miss Wan's assistance, the ghost's threat was greatly reduced, it had no chance to harm me and senior brother."

Su Youyi's eyes smiled gently, softly patting Yue Bai's small head.

This time, she and her senior brother managed to slay the Ghostly Adversary of Destiny with virtually no injury, thanks in great part to this Saintess of the Devouring Spirit Sect. Without her presence to limit the opponent, the difficulty of defeating the adversary would've increased significantly.

Even a few minor injuries quickly healed under the influence of the Qinglian Creation.

"So, what should we do with this fellow?"

Old Master Ju swung the limp figure in his hand, all bloody and barely breathing—a badly wounded Cen Zian, left with just a single breath.

His original intention was to kill him directly, but he suddenly thought that Liang Yi might still want to extract some information, and hence, held back at the last moment.

"Hand him over to me; he was originally my target after all, consider it my payment for helping you out."

At this point, Wan Tinggui, who was standing with her arms crossed, spoke up.

Noticing everyone's gaze on her, Wan Tinggui's expression remained undisturbed.

"What? You think our relationship has gotten to the point where I would intervene in life and death for you?"

Her alliance with Liang Yi was at most a mutually beneficial verbal agreement; neither side had betrayed it simply because there had been no reason to do so.
